The young man interrupted Dijia’s attempt to speak, saying, “You are a really good person, thank you.”

Dijia: “…”

‘Wow, the good person card.’

He looked away with some frustration, and noticed a person rushing out from the villa’s main gate not far away.

Dijia focused his gaze; it was a middle-aged woman, and judging from her attire, she should be a maid from this household.

“That’s Aunt Zhang, our family’s housekeeper. She came out to pick me up,” the young man opened the car door, got out, and before closing the car door, he bent down and nodded towards the man in the driver’s seat, “Be careful on the way, President Dijia.”

With a soft bang, the young man closed the car door without any hesitation.

Dijia: “…”

‘He’s getting off already?

Without even saying a few more words?

I worked hard all night, and all I got was a good person card?’

The man’s cold gaze swept over through the tinted car window, landing behind the young man’s tall and slender figure.

Without leaving any traces, he quietly lowered a small portion of the car window, and the outside sounds drifted into his ears.

Woman: “Young Master, why did you come back so late? The Old Master is almost dying of anxiety.”

Bai Lixin: “I got lost. Fortunately, I met a kind-hearted person who brought me back.”

Dijia’s face turned gloomy.

A kind-hearted person?

He doesn’t even deserve a name?

The woman glanced in the direction of the car, quickly opened the iron gate, let Bai Lixin in, and lowered her voice as she asked, “Is it this person? Did he do anything to you?”

The young man’s pleasant voice entered his ears, “No, he’s a very good person.”

Dijia instinctively covered his chest.

‘Another good person card.’

The woman’s worried expression didn’t seem like an act. She carefully examined Bai Lixin from head to toe, making sure he wasn’t injured before respectfully bowing to Dijia’s car.

Dijia stared at the young man’s enchanting face for two seconds before reluctantly starting the engine, turning around, and driving away.

After watching Dijia’s car disappear, Aunt Zhang then closed the iron gate and led Bai Lixin towards the villa.

Bai Lixin: “Aunt Zhang, is everyone asleep?”

“Master and Madam went to bed early. Originally, the Master was waiting for you, but his body couldn’t hold up, so he went back to rest. He should be asleep now. I’ll tell him the news of your return first thing when he wakes up tomorrow morning.” Aunt Zhang spoke as they walked, “You don’t need to worry about anything. It’s good that you’ve come back safely. Go back to your room and get a good night’s sleep. We can talk about anything when you wake up tomorrow.”

It was after two o’clock in the morning, and the Fei residence was already shrouded in darkness. They walked on the marble path from the main gate to the villa gate. The night wind blew, rustling the leaves and foliage on either side.

Bai Lixin looked up, the hazy moon hung half in the sky, with one side of the moon revealed, while the other half was hidden behind the villa’s roof.

Except for a dim yellow light in the hall, the four-story villa was engulfed in darkness.

Looking ahead from the yard, the villa, which looked bright and splendid during the day, now seemed shrouded in an eerie fog in the darkness. The excessive stillness carried a stifling atmosphere, like a house of the dead.

From here, he could see Big Zhuang’s room, Red Hair’s room, his own room, etc. –

Just as his eyes swept across these rooms one by one, a bright light suddenly flashed across the glass of one of the rooms’ windows. Bai Lixin subconsciously followed the light and saw a figure standing by Big Zhuang’s room window.

The person’s silhouette was clear in the moonlight. She held a cigarette in her mouth, wearing a sexy silk nightgown, lazily leaning against the window, coldly looking down with an expressionless face, carrying a sense of despair and indifference.

Seemingly aware that Bai Lixin was looking at her, she quickly extinguished the cigarette on the windowsill, pulled the curtain, and vanished from Bai Lixin’s sight.

After Li Manyu left, Bai Lixin withdrew his gaze and followed Aunt Zhang back into the villa.

The hall was pitch black, with only two small night lights at the entrance.

Aunt Zhang handed one of the night lights to Bai Lixin, “Young Master, it’s late. You should go upstairs to rest. I need to go to sleep too. I’ll be in the small room at the end of the first-floor corridor. Call me if you need anything.”

Bai Lixin nodded, “Thank you, Aunt Zhang. Good night.”

After changing into slippers, Bai Lixin went upstairs holding a dim night light with low visibility.

When he reached the stairs on the second floor, he stopped for a moment and pricked up his ears to listen to what was going on downstairs.

Only after confirming that Aunt Zhang had gone far away did he take out the invisibility card from his backpack and walked to the corridor on the second floor.

Both Fei Yino and Fei Taizong’s rooms were on the second floor. He first approached Fei Taizong’s bedroom door, which was slightly ajar. The big bed in the middle was slightly raised, and one could faintly make out the silhouette of a person lying under the quilt.

Bai Lixin waited at the door for a few seconds, ensuring Fei Taizong was truly asleep before entering the room.

There were still two medicine bottles and a glass on his bedside. One bottle contained anti-inflammatory and pain relief medicine, and the other contained calming medicine.

Fei Taizong’s breathing was heavy but regular. Bai Lixin stood by the bed for a while, then quietly left Fei Taizong’s room.

Next, he went to Fei Yino’s room. The door was tightly closed. Bai Lixin cautiously pushed it open, and the closed door opened with ease.

Bai Lixin stood at the door and peered inside. Fei Yino’s bed was empty, and there was no sign of any bedding being disturbed.

S419M gulped: [Lord Host, I’m scared.]

Bai Lixin stepped into the room: [Be good. I’ll help you desensitize.]

S419M: […]

‘I appreciate your kindness.’

Bai Lixin quietly entered the room; it was actually his first time entering Fei Yino’s room.

The room had a minimalist style, with only a few necessary decorations in the spacious room. The originally large room felt exceptionally empty and desolate.

S419M whispered again: [Lord Host, take it slow. What if he’s just in the bathroom…]

Bai Lixin opened the bathroom door- there was no one inside.

S419M: […]

‘As long as you’re happy.’

Bai Lixin carefully circled around the room and finally confirmed one thing.

Fei Yino wasn’t in the room, and it didn’t look like anyone was living in the room.

S419M: [What do you mean by “it doesn’t look like anyone was living in the room”?]

Bai Lixin: [If it’s a room someone lives in, no matter how well it’s taken care of, there should be traces of daily life use.]

[For example, the wear and tear of toiletries, and so on.]

[When I looked at his bathroom just now, both the toothbrush and towel were brand new, and there wasn’t a trace of scale in the cup.]

S419M: [Maybe he’s just very clean, and he has the servants change everything he uses every day? Like disposable items. After all, some rich people are so particular.]

[If those can be explained with disposables, what about the sink and the bathroom?] Bai Lixin calmly analyzed, [I noticed just now that there’s no sign of wear and tear on the sink and bathroom fixtures either. Rather than being Fei Yino’s, this is more like a room Fei Yino wants everyone to think is his.]

S419M: [So where could Fei Yino be? Could it be in that little house we saw during the day?]

Thinking of the heads wrapped in plaster, a chill crawled up from its “feet.” [Damn it, this is too perverse, sleeping with a bunch of bodies… No, it should be body parts? Is he a pervert? He’s terrifying, just thinking about it makes me uneasy.]

[Actually, not necessarily,] Bai Lixin pondered seriously for a few seconds, [Do you remember the surveillance we found on the first day we entered the Fei family?]

S419M: [I remember.]

Bai Lixin: [In the name of recovering my memory, I visited all the rooms in the Fei residence in the past two days. I haven’t found any room where this surveillance could be monitored. I think there’s a mysterious area in the Fei residence that we haven’t stepped into.]

S419M: [You mean, Fei Yino is probably there? But where could that place be?]

Bai Lixin: [Fei Yino leaves early every morning, only returning after it’s dark. After that, he only shows up for a while and then disappears again. When I was taking a stroll in the garden this morning, I secretly observed Fei Yino. After he left, he didn’t go far but circled around the outside path of the Fei residence and went around to the other side of the wall.]

S419M suddenly realized: [I was wondering why you went out for a walk so early today. I thought you were caught up in the gossip on the melodramatic love affair between Big Zhuang and Red Hair.]

‘It turns out I’m the only person gossiping here.

No, I’m not even a person.

That hurts.’

S419M: [So, do you plan to… go there now?]

[No.] Bai Lixin shook his head, [There should be someone there now. We have to wait for the time when Fei Yino appears, which is around tomorrow evening. Based on the pattern these past few days, I found that Fei Yino comes back when it’s completely dark, then appears in everyone’s sight for about half an hour. That half-hour is our opportunity. Let’s hope I’m not disappointed tomorrow.]

S419M remembered something: [Lord Host, did Fei Yino notice that the hidden room has been tampered with?]

Bai Lixin looked excited: [Probably not. He usually goes there for a walk in the morning. We should know tomorrow morning. Let’s look forward to his reaction.]

S419M: […]

‘Lord Host, shouldn’t you show a bit of fright that a player should have?

Your look of anticipation is really creepy.’
